No. 16 THAT GOSPEL SERMON ON THE BLESSED HOPE.

BY D. L. MOODY.

A Sermon delivered by  D. L. M OODY , the Evangelist, at the Great Chicago Tabernacle, Jan. 5, 1877. Repeated in the Boston Tabernacle, April 29th.

In2Timothy,3:16,Pauldeclares:"AllscriptureisgivenbyinspirationofGod,andisprofitablefordoctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness;" but there are some people who tell us when we takeupprophecythatitisallverywelltobebelieved,butthatthereisnouseinonetryingtounderstandit; these future events are things that the church does not agree about, and it is better to let them alone, and deal onlywiththoseprophecieswhichhavealreadybeenfulfilled.ButPauldoesnottalkthatway;hesays:"All scriptureis...profitablefordoctrine."fIthesepeopleareright,heoughttohavesaid:"Somescriptureis profitable;butyoucannotunderstandtheprophecies,soyouhadbetterletthemalone."fIGoddidnotmean to have us study the prophecies, he would not have put them in the Bible. Some of them are fulfilled, and he is atworkfulfililngtherest,sothatifwedonotseethemallcompletedinthisilfe,weshallintheworldtocome.

I do not want to teach anything to-day dogmatically, on my own authority, but to my mind this precious doctrine--for such I must call it--of the return of the Lord to this earth is taught in the New Testament as clearly as any other doctrine is; yet I was in the church fifteen or sixteen years before I ever heard a sermon on it. There is hardly any church that does not make a great deal of baptism, but the New Testament only speaks about baptism thirteen times, while it speaks of the return of our Lord fifty times; and yet the church has had very little to say about it. Now, I can see a reason for this: the devil does not want us to see this truth, for nothing would wake up the church so much. The moment a man takes hold of the truth that Jesus Christ is coming back again to receive his friends to himself, this world loses its hold upon him; gas-stocks and water- stocks, and stocks in banks and horse-railroads, are of very much less consequence to him then. His heart is free,andhelooksfortheblessedappearingofhisLord,whoathiscomingwilltakehimintohisblessed kingdom.

In 2 Peter 1:20, we read: "No prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation." Some people say: "Oyes,thepropheciesareallwellenoughforthepriestsanddoctors,butnotfortherankandfileofthe church." But Peter says: "The prophecy came not by the will of man, but holy men spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost," and those men are the very ones who tell us of the return of our Lord. Look at Daniel 2:45, wherehetellsthemeaningofthatstonewhichthekingsawinhisdreamthatwascutoutofthemountain without hands, and that broke in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold. "The dream is certainandtheinterpretationthereofsure,"saysDaniel.Nowwehaveseenthefulfillmentofthatprophecyall but the closing part of it. The kingdoms of Babylon and Medo-Persia and Greece and Rome have all been broken in pieces, and now it only remains for this stone cut out of the mountain without hands to smite the image and break it in pieces till it becomes like the dust of the summer threshing floor, and for this stone to become a great mountain and fill the whole earth.

BUT HOW IS HE GOING TO COME?

We are told how he is going to come. When those disciples stood looking up into heaven at the time of his ascension,thereappearedtwoangels,whosaidActs1:11:"YemenofGaillee,whystandyegazingupinto heaven?ThissameJesuswhichistakenupfromyouintoheavenshallsocomeinilkemannerasyehave seen him go into heaven." How did he go up? He took his flesh and bones up with him. "Look at me; handle me; give me something to eat; a spirit hath not flesh and bones as ye see me have; I am the identical one whom they crucified and laid in the grave. Now I am risen from the dead and am going up to heaven," Luke 24:39,43. He is gone, say the angels, but he will come again just as he went. An angel was sent to announce his birth of the virgin; angels sang of his advent in Bethlehem; an angel told the women of his resurrection; andtwoangelstoldthedisciplesofhiscomingagain.tIisthesametestimonyinallthesecases. IdonotknowwhypeopleshouldnotilketoreadtheBible,andfindoutallaboutthispreciousdoctrineof our Lord's return. Some have gone beyond prophecy, and tried to tell the very day he would come. Perhaps thatisonereasonwhypeopledonotbeilevethisdoctrine.Heiscoming,weknowthat;butjustwhenheis coming we do not know; Matt. 24:36, settles that. The angels do not know; and Christ says that even he does notknow,butthatissomethingtheFatherkeepstohimself.fIChristhadsaid:"Iwillnotcomebackfor2,000 years," none of his disciples would have begun to watch for him, but it is the proper attitude of a Christian to bealwayslookingforhisLord'sreturn.SoGoddoesnottellusjustwhenheistocome,butChristtellsusto watch. In this same chapter we find that he is to come unexpectedly and suddenly. In the twenty-seventh verse we have these words: "For as the lightning cometh out of the east and shineth unto the west, even so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be." And again in the forty-fourth verse: "Therefore be ye also ready, for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of Man cometh." Some people say that means death: but the Word of God does not say it means death. Death is our enemy, but our Lord hath the keys of death; he has conquered death, hell, and the grave, and at any moment he may come to set us free from death, and destroy our last enemy for us; so the proper state for a believer in Christ is waiting and watching for our Lord's return. In the last chapter of John there is a text that seems to settle this matter. Peter asks the question about John:"Lordwhatshallthismando?Jesussaiduntohim,fIIwillthathetarrytillIcome,whatisthattothee? Follow thou me. Then went this saying abroad among the brethren that that disciple should not die." They did not think that the coming of the Lord meant death; there was a great difference between these two things in their minds. CHRIST IS THE PRINCE OF LIFE. There is no death where he is; death flees at his coming; dead bodies sprang to life when he touched them or spoke to them. His coming is not death; he is the resurrection and the life, when he sets up his kingdom there is to be no death, but life forevermore. Thereisanothermistake,asyouwillfindifyoureadyourBiblecarefully.Somepeoplethinkthatatthe coming of Christ everything is to be done up in a few minutes; but I do not so understand it. The first thing he is to do is to take his Church out of the world. He calls the Church his bride, and he says he is going to prepareaplaceforher.Wemayjudge,saysone,whatagloriousplaceitwillbefromthelengthoftimeheis in preparing it, and when the place is ready he will come and take the church to himself. In the closing verses of the fourth chapter of 1 Thessalonians, Paul says: "If we believe that Jesus died and roseagain,evensoalsothemwhichsleepinJesuswillGodbringwithhim....Wewhichareailveandremain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heavenwithashout,withthevoiceofthearchangel,andwiththetrumpofGod,andthedeadinChristshall risefirst.Thenwewhicharealiveandremainshallbecaughtuptogetherwiththeminthecloudstomeetthe Lord in the air, and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore, comfort one another with these words." That is the comfort of the church. There was a time when I used to mourn that I should not be alive in the millennium; but now I expect to be in the millennium. Dean Alford says--and almost everybody bows to him in the matter of interpretation--that he must insist that this coming of Christ to take his church to himself in the clouds is not the same event us that to judge the world at the last day. The deliverance of the church is one thing,judgmentisanother.Now,IcannotfindanyplaceintheBiblewhereittellsmetowaitforsignsofthe comingofthemillennium,asthereturnoftheJews,andsuchlike;butittellsmetolookforthecomingofthe Lord; to watch for it; to be ready at midnight to meet him, like those five wise virgins. The trump of God may besounded,foranythingweknow,beforeIfinishthissermon--atanyratewearetoldthathewillcomeasa thief in the night, and at an hour when many look not for him. Someofyoumayshakeyourheadsandsay,"Oh,well,thatistoodeepforthemostofus;suchthings ought not to be said before these young converts; only the very wisest characters, such as ministers and professors in the theological seminaries, can understand them." But my friends, you find that Paul wrote about these things to those young converts among the Thessalonians, and he tells them to comfort one another with these words. Here in the first chapter of 1 Thessalonians Paul says, "Ye turned to God from idols toservetheilvingandtrueGod,andtowaitforhisSonfromheavenwhomheraisedfromthedead,even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come," To wait for his Son; that is the true attitude of every child of God.Ifheisdoingthatheisreadyforthedutiesofilfe,readyforGod'swork;aye,thatmakeshimfeelthathe is just ready to begin to work for God. Then in 1 Thessalonians, 2:19, he says: "For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye, in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, at his coming?" And again, in the third chapter, at the thirteenth verse, "To the end that he may establish your hearts unblamable in holiness before God, even our Father, at thecomingofourLordJesusChristwithallhissaints."Stillagain,inthefifthchapter,"Foryeyourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should over take you as a thief." He has something to say about this same thing in every chapter, indeedIhavethoughtthisEpistletotheThessaloniansmightbecalledthegospelofChrist'scomingagain. There are three great facts foretold in the word of God: First, that Christ should come; that has been fulfilled.Second,thattheHolyGhostshouldcome;thatwasfulfilledatPentecost,andthechurchisableto testify to it by its experience of his saving grace. Third, the return of our Lord again from heaven--for this we are told to watch and wait "till he come." Look at that account of the last hours of Christ with his disciples. WhatdoesChristsaytothem?fIIgoawayIwillsenddeathafteryoutobringyoutome?Iwillsendanangel afteryou?Notatall.Hesays:"Iwillcomeagainandreceiveyouuntomyself."fImywifewereinaforeign country, and I had a beautiful mansion all ready for her, she would a good deal rather I should come and bring her unto it than to have me send some one else to bring her. THE CHURCH IS THE LAMB'S WIFE. He has prepared a mansion for his bride, and he promises for our joy and comfort that he will come himself andbringustotheplacehehasbeenallthiswhilepreparing. MyfriendsitisperfectlysafetotakethewordofGodaswefindit.Ifhetellsustowatch,thenwatch!fIhe tellsustopray,thenpray!fIhetellsushewillcomeagain,waitforhim!LetthechurchbowtothewordofGod, rather than trying to find out how such things can be. "Behold, I come quickly," said Christ. "Even so, come, Lord Jesus," should be the prayer of the church. Take the account of the words of Christ at the communion table. It seems to me the devil has covered up the most precious thing about it. "For as often as ye eat this bread and drink this cup ye do show forth the Lord's death till he come ." But most people seem to think that the Lord's table is the place for self- examinationandrepentance,andmakinggoodresolutions.Notatall;youspoilitthatway;itistoshowforth the Lord's death, and we are to keep it up till he comes. Somepeoplesay,"IbelieveChristwillcomeontheothersideofthemillennium."Wheredoyougetit?I cannotfindit.ThewordofGodnowheretellsmetowatchandwaitforthecomingofthemillennium,butfor the coming of the Lord. I do not find any place where God says the world is to grow better and better, and that Christ is to have a spiritual reign on earth of a thousand years. I find that the world is to grow worse and worse,andatlengththereistobeaseparation."Twowomengrindingatamill,onetakenandtheotherleft; two men in one bed, one taken and the other left," Luke 17:34,36. The church is to be translated out of the world, we have two examples already, two representatives, as we might say, of Christ's kingdom, of what is to bedoneforallhistruebelievers.Enochistherepresentativeofthefirstdispensation,Eiljahofthesecond, and, as a representative of the third dispensation, we have the Saviour himself, who is entered into the heavens for us, and become the first fruits of them that slept. We are not to wait for the great white throne judgement, but the glorified church is set on the throne with Christ, and to help to judge the world. Now, some of you think this is a new and strange doctrine, and that they who preach it are speckled birds. But let me tell you that most of the spiritual men in the pulpits of Great Britain are firm in this faith. Spurgeon preachesit.IhaveheardNewmanHallsaythatheknewnoreasonwhyChristmightnotcomebeforehegot through with his sermon. But in certain wealthy and fashionable churches, where they have the form of godilness,butdenythepowerthereof,—justthestateofthingswhichPauldeclaresshallbeinthelastdays, —thisdoctrineisnotpreachedorbeileved.Theydonotwantsinnerstocryoutintheirmeeting,"WhatmustI dotobesaved?"Theywantintellectualpreacherswhowillcultivatetheirtaste,brilliantpreacherswhowill rousetheirimagination,buttheydonotwantthepreachingthathasinitthepoweroftheHolyGhost.Weilve inthedayofshamsinreilgion.Thechurchiscoldandformal;mayGodwakeusup!AndIknowofnobetter way to do it than to get the church to looking for the return of our Lord. Some people say, "Oh, you will discourage the young converts if you preach that doctrine." Well, my friends, that has not been my experience. I have felt like working three times as hard ever since I came to understand that my Lord was coming back again. I look on this world as a wrecked vessel. God has given me ailfe-boat,andsaidtome,"Moody,saveallyoucan."Godwillcomeinjudgmentandburnupthisworld,but the children of God do not belong to this world; they are in it, but not of it, like a ship in the water. This world is getting darker and darker; its ruin is coming nearer and nearer; if you have any friends on this wreck unsaved, you had better lose no time in getting them off. But some will say: "Do you then make the grace of God a failure?" No, grace is not a failure but man is. The antediluvian world was a failure; the Jewish work was a failure; man has been a failure everywhere, when he has had his own way and been left to himself. CHRIST WILL SAVE HIS CHURCH. Buthewillsavethemfinallybytakingthemoutoftheworld.Now,donottakemywordforit;lookthis doctrine up in your Bible, and if you find it there, bow down to it and receive it as the word of God. Take Matthew 24:48,50: "But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, my Lord delayeth his coming ... the Lord ofthatservantshallcomeinadaywhenhelookethnotforhim,andinanhourthatheisnotawareof,and shallcuthimasunderandappointhimhisportionwiththehypocrites;thereshallbeweepingandgnashingof teeth." Take 2 Peter 3:4,5: "There shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation." Go out on the streets of Chicago and ask men about the return of our Lord, and that is just what they would say: "Ah, yes, the Lord delayeth his coming!" "Behold, I come quickly," said Christ to John, and the last prayer in the Bible is, "Even so, come Lord Jesus, come quickly." Were the early Christians disappointed then? No; no man is disappointed who obeys the voice of God. The world waited for the first coming of the Lord; waited for 4,000 years, and then he came. He was here only thirty-three years and then he went away; but he left us a promise that he would come again; and as the world watched and waited for his first coming and did not watch in vain, so now to them who wait for his appearing shall he appear a second time unto salvation. Now let the question go round, "Am I ready to meet the Lord if he comes to-night?" "Be ye also ready, for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh." ThereisanotherthoughtIwanttocallyourattentionto,andthatisthis:Christwillbringallourfriends,with himwhenhecomes.AllwhohavediedintheLordaretobewithhimwhenhecomesinthecloudsofheaven. "Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death has no power, but theyshallbepriestsofGodandofChrist,andshallreignwithhimathousandyears,"Rev.20:6."Buttherest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were past; this is the first resurrection" (verse 5). That looksasifthechurchweretohaveathousandyearswithChristbeforethefinaljudgment,whenSatanshall becastout,andthereshallbenewheavensandnewearthwhereindwellethrighteousness.

D. L. Moody, who is perhaps the most popular and efficient preacher of the gospel of Christ in the world, to-day, is evidentlyfullycommittedtoabeliefinthespeedycomingofourLordJesusChrist,tojudgetheworldandestabilshhis eternal kingdom. Looking over the published reports of his sermons in Great Britain and in this country, since the beginningof1874,Igiveextractswhichgotoshowinaplainilghttheman'sinnerloveandhopeasrelatestothelast things, and his warm, bold, consistent manner of expressing the same. Thousands pray, God bless D. L. Moody. 1. Mr. Moody proclaims that the grand symbols of Daniel's, second and seventh chapters, announce four dominant world empires, and but four, to cover all centuries of human probation. 2. That these kingdoms are and were Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome. 3. That these have had their day of earthly supremacy and the last has nearly passed away. 4. That the fifth kingdom of Daniel is God's, to come in its order as the fifth, to overthrow all previous kingdoms, to be a visible and eternal kingdom, and to be established by Christ in person at his second coming. 5. That the stone cut from the mountain denotes "Christ himself," "at his appearing and kingdom," whose advent "is not far distant," and for whose advent "the whole creation groans." Rom. 8:19-22. 6. That the last days, described by our Saviour in Matt. 24:37-39 as resembling the days of Lot and Noah, are already here; observing, "I do not think the day is far distant when our Lord will return." And again, "just as judgmentovertookBelshazzarcarousingathisfeast,sowilljudgmentcomesuddenlyandswiftlyuponthe worldrevellinginitssins."

The foregoing he preached in the City Hall, Glasgow, March 15th, 1874, before three thousand people. On thesamedayhepreachedon"Christ'sSecondComing"intheFreechurch(Pres.),teillngthechurchesthat every thirtieth verse in the New Testament bears on that glorious coming; and says the London Christian , "With his usual power he showed what a mighty motive this doctrine is to all who are winning souls. He himself had found it rousing him to ten-fold more effort to save all that could be rescued from the coming wreck."

InPhiladelphia,inadiscourseonDanie'lssecondchapter,hesaid:"Thisdreamhasbeennearlyfulfilled as Daniel interpreted it. In the present age the prophecy is nearly completed, and the hour of the Lord's second coming is close at hand."D. T. T.
